Simon Cowell fulfilled five-year-old Bethany Fenton's final wish before she lost her battle with a brain tumor. She achieved her dream of singing "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" for Cowell when she visited the 'Britain's Got Talent' studios in North London ahead of Saturday's finale on June 5 and even met some of the finalists in the competition. Following her exciting day, the young girl told UK's Daily Mail, "I loved them all, especially Kieran, who asked for my wristband to give us both luck...Simon let me sing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star' to him. "He's so nice and I love him.Last year , Bethany was diagnosed with a grade three to four anaplastic astrocytoma brain tumor. A second MRI scan last year revealed the tumor had grown and began seriously affecting her.
The youngster fought the illness for over a year and had been through radiotherapy and chemotherapy. She pass away Tuesday afternoon, June 8, at the Helen House Hospice in Oxford after a sudden deterioration in her condition at home.
Following her death, Cowell's spokeman Max Clifford said, "Simon is very upset, he said what a beautiful little girl she was. He is so sad , and sad for the whole family. Bethany was a special little girl and Simon was touched when she sang for him. Simon was so happy that he was able to do a special something on Saturday night to give her a few precious moments but it is so sad and his heart goes out to Bethany's mum and dad and he's thinking of them."
A spokeman for the family said the young girl was doing fine on Sunday after singing for Cowell and "was absolutely over the moon with what happened."
"Her dad said that Bethany had done what she wanted to do, meet Simon Cowell and sing to him. She had achieved her big ambition and was now ready to depart this earth," the spokeman said.
My spin on this wonderful story: It's not very often we can bring you really good news that bring tears to your eyes but also put a warm glow in your heart...Simon you are a very wonderful man and we love you ...there's more to you than what meets the eye...we have just learned that your grumpy side is just a front ...but now we know the real Simon Cowell.
Kicking back having fun and keeping it real.
That is a really heartwarming story. My thoughts go out to the family who lost a little girl much, much too soon. Losing a child is the worst thing a parent can ever face.
ReplyDeleteSimon, you minx you! Beneath that grumpy exterior lies a man with a heart of gold...
